Ah, so you’re treating your intuition like it’s universal fact and then claiming to be the victim of gaslighting when someone disagrees. Have a great life!
“Meat is muscle, and insects must have muscles to move - its just that their muscles are inside their external skeleton rather than outside their internal skeleton. In fact i have seen insect muscle, when i watched a preying mantis eat a large blow-fly.”
Well how are you defining meat? Terrestrial insect meat and crab or lobster meat is structurally pretty much the same. It’s all muscle fibers.
The big difference is that you can’t really extract the insect meat like you would with a crab, so you’re stuck eating the whole thing, meat and everything else, which is probably where a lot of the apprehension comes from. And to be fair I think that’s a pretty big difference. A lot of cultures try to avoid eating “everything else” up and down the food chain.
Meaty?
The gas lighting is real
Okay, insecty then whatever you want to call it
Gaslighting is when I like something that you don’t
Claiming bugs have meat

No longer must you suffer looking like a fucking idiot, making claims unsubstantiated simply because you “feel” they’re correct.
Behold! Google!
Well I don’t care for propaganda sites. I know “eat the bugs” is currently pretty high up.
But again, using the term “meaty” to describe a tarantula where the most you will eat is the exoskeleton is just bad faith
You do understand that the stuff inside the exoskeleton doesn’t just evaporate, right?
